I just stumbled upon your blog and it's lovely. I was wondering about the wooden bowls you use. I was thinking about buying one for our son when he starts table foods, but I wasn't sure how to care for it. How do you care for the bowls? Very lovely stuff.

shawn - yes, we use our wooden bowls for everything. the main thing about caring for them, or any wooden bowls or utensils, is to never let them stand or sit in water. we clean ours just after use with plain water and sometimes a little bit of soap, if necessary. then immediately dry them by hand. also about once a month or so we oil them with a combination of food-grade oil and beeswax. :)

Thanks! I'm thinking that a wooden bowl and spoon might make a special gift for my son when he starts table food. It's going to be a big day more for me than him I bet. It took us so long to have children, I simply had no idea what I was missing. Really, I'm glad I didn't because it would have made it even more painful. This is simply the best journey.
